Compulsory Marriage - S01 E18

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 18

I parked somewhere and started thinking again, only if she didn’t hide her number to call me I would have called back atleast we can still be friends even if things didn’t work out between us. I rested for like 10mins before I started moving again..not drove up to 5mins when my phone started ringing again, still the same unknown number

Me: Please Biola…why are you hiding your number from me..atleast not being together doesn’t mean we should stop talking now…I searched for you everywhere, I was told you are on leave in the office, you are not in your parent house too as hardly a day goes by without me going there to search for you…

Biola: No need to search for me Snakie..we belong to the past, how was today’s ceremony? Hope evrytyn went as planned

Me: We thank God..but where are you

Biola: Forget about where I am jare

Me: Whats your number now…why are you hiding your number to call me?

Biola: Am only calling to find out about how the programme went ni jhoor….I know if the wedding had been in a church, u know that awkward moment when pastor will ask if someone has anytyn against the marriage, I imagine what would run through your mind

Me: Nothing now..because I know you can never do anytyn to disrupt the process..i trust you for that

Biola: Don’t be too sure ooo snakie, its not the same Biola again oooo

Me: what has changed in the Biola that I knew…

Biola: So many things but lets forget about it…I hope am not disturbing your honeymoon

Me: which honeymoon…am not even at home

Biola: Where are you? U don go do side runs again on your wedding night

Me: No oooo…trust me now

Biola: Trust ke? For where………..abi I don trust you ni

Me: Ahn ahn Biola….Mary was an avoidable mistake and I regretted everything that happened, I never knew it will come out this way

Biola: The same way you can go and block now and wont know the outcome till it happen…just know that you are now a married man and you should be responsible, learn from the past mistake

Me: Why are you talking like this now Biola…well I went to drop mummy at home and am driving back to Egbeda..had to park when your call came in now….But Biola, you know this whole marriage stuff is just an ishh to me..you know I never wanted it..after we had plan about everytyn and you disappeared just like that..thats so unfair Biola.

Biola: whats so unfair when your parent was on my neck…most especially your mum, calling me everyday begging me to leave you alone..what do u expect from me when its not as if I cant find another gu of my own even though it might not be so easy but am sure my own man will still come.

Me: Uhmmmmm…….so, that means you have totally forget about me

Bola:abi…what next, you belong to another lady now, you are married and you need to enjoy your marriage even though……forget about it

Me: Even though what baby? Pls say your mind now……..even though its so hard to let go abi?

Even though you wis its our marriage today..even though you wish am right there beside you now….thats what I was telling you the other time by not letting people dictate our lives for us, we are adult and we can decide what we want out of life…you know I will never accept for today to happen if not that you vanished away, if not that you abandoned me at the critical time when I needed you beside me, if not that you let my parent brainwashed you into releasing what rightly belongs to you..your hard labour for crying out loud. We have been together from scratch to where we are right now but you let somebody from nowhere to come and reap all what you labored for. You know I don’t love Mary and I will never love her..you are my life and everytyn, you are the one I want to spend the rest of my life with..you mean everytyn to me and I still love you so much just like before and I know you still love me too baby

Biola: what make you think I still love you

Me: Am not thinking…I know cos I you don’t, you wont call me today…I know you have been indoor since morning thinking about where I am today, thinking about how you wish its us doing our marriage today, you had to call me when your mind couldn’t take it again just to find out if am alright and if everytyn went as planned. You still love and care so much about me Biola

Biola: Uhmmmmm………………..Dont be too sure snakie

Me: am very sure of that

Biola: And I wont argue it with you

Me: Can you do me a favour Biola? Just one last thing and I will never ask for anytyn again from you

Biola: Whats it, if its within my capacity, you know I will do

Me: Can yo give me the opportunity to see you again,if its just once evn if its can be tonight

Biola: That will be a little bit hard oooo

Me: Why Biola..please now

Biola: It will be hard cos I don’t know where I will tell my boyfriend am going ooo

Me: You now have a boyfriend…

Biola: What do you expect? You now have a wife too now..

Me: Ohk ooo…please can you do me the favour

Biola: If only you can make it tonight as his not yet back home, this is past 8 and he will be back anytime from 9pm….Only if you can make it before 8:30,I can spare you like 10-15mins

Me: No problem dear..i can make it, where will I see you

Biola: Same place we met the last time at 7&8…I will be waiting for you there by 8:30 and if I didn’t see you within 10mins, I will be gone.

Me: No problem dear..i will make it.

I was somewhere around Mushin when she called me, I immediately find my route to isolo and follow through Osolo Way as I believe that was the easiest way to connect to the place. I got there at around 8:35pm and instead of Biola being inside, she was at the car park waiting. I sighted her putting on a brown gown, just an inch below the knee, with a slippers and her hair do suggest that it was not a plan outing, I parked beside her, came down of the car and hugged her and she responded by hugging me back.

Me: Why are you waiting outside

Biola: I was inside before but am not feeling the place so I decided to stay outside, moreover I don’t have much time to spend like I told you, I have to be at home before 9pm

Me: Does that mean you stay around here now?

Biola: Sort of……

Me: And am very hungry ooooo

Biola: hey yah…I understand, you can go in and get something now or you don’t eat outside now

Me: So can we just sit in the car instead of hanging here…

Biola: Ok..no problem

We both entered the car but instead of staying at that spot, I decided to move forward to the next junction by the right and entered one street there.

That was on her instruction; the street was a bit dark and silent as no much people passing by there, I put off the inner light of the carbas we started discussing

Me: Thanks for giving me this chance Biola, I so much appreciate it

Biola: You welcome oko iyawo……congratulations

Me: Thanks Ma…

Biola: So, how did it go? It was because of the gist I had to see you oooo cos I want to know how everytyn went

Me: Gist indeed and you said you don’t care again

Biola: Does gisting means I still care?

Me: Its just normal…dint spend much time there..just a formalities…like 5-6hrs we spent there

Biola: so, when is the proper wedding coming up?

Me: Which proper wedding…we don finnish everytyn now

Biola: Finish everytyn ke? Na iyawo sara (free wife) dem give you ni

Me: You no how everytyn come to be now…so I don’t expect you to be talking like this

Biola: I don’t know ooooo

Me: enough about me cos that’s what we have been talking about since we started talking on phone tonight. How about you? How have you been, what have you been up to…..who is the lucky guy now

Biola: As you can see, am fine….all have been good and well courtesy of God

Me: And the guy?

Biola: Whats your own with the guy? Abeg leave that one jhoor…

Biola: Whats your own..why are you so particular about the guy..well its not someone you know or have met before

Me: Ohk ooooo…I hope he’s not treating you so bad like me

Biola: he’s tryng his best and have not seen a trace of disappointment from him
